This is in response to a family-dinner discussion about the parameters and characteristics of the different cultural ages. Here’s a link to the article by Michael T.

All a matter of perspective – and I suggest that those numbers might move as the different generations age. It’s also interesting to note that those with a wider or longer view seem to think that the “prime of life” is when you are more mature.
